[00:05.410]Pathological monsters! cried the terrified mathematician
[00:12.430]Every one of them is a splinter in my eye
[00:18.360]I hate the Peano Space and the Koch Curve
[00:21.210]I fear the Cantor Ternary Set
[00:24.430]The Sierpinski Gasket makes me want to cry
[00:30.550]And a million miles away a butterfly flapped its wings
[00:36.790]On a cold November day a man named Benoit Mandelbrot was born
[00:54.850]His disdain for pure mathematics and his unique geometrical insights
[01:00.410]Left him well equipped to face those demons down
[01:06.330]He saw that infinite complexity could be described by simple rules
[01:14.720]He used his giant brain and he turned the game around
[01:20.790]And he looked below the storm and saw a vision in his head
[01:26.890]A bulbous pointy form
[01:29.200]He picked his pencil up and he wrote his secret down
[01:39.260]Just Take a point called Z in the complex plane
[01:42.510]
[01:47.050]
[01:49.430]And Z3 is Z2 squared plus C and so on
[01:52.720]If the series of Z's will always stay
[01:55.550]Close to Z and never trend away
[01:58.580]That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
[02:01.100]Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
[02:04.890]You're a day-glo pterodactyl
[02:07.620]You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
[02:10.620]You're one bad-ass fucking fractal
[02:13.470]And you're just in time to save the day
[02:16.720]Sweeping all our fears away
[02:19.730]You can change the world in a tiny way
[02:29.030]Mandelbrot's in heaven, at least he will be when he's dead
[02:34.420]Right now he's still alive and teaching math at Yale
[02:40.600]He gave us order out of chaos, he gave us hope where there was none
[02:46.300]And his geometry succeeds where others fail
[02:52.720]If you ever lose your way, a butterfly will flap its wings
[02:58.390]From a million miles away, a little miracle will come to take you home
[03:07.690]Just take a point called Z in the complex plane
[03:10.810]
[03:13.660]
[03:16.640]
[03:19.820]If the series of Z's will always stay
[03:22.450]Close to Z and never trend away
[03:25.550]That point is in the Mandelbrot Set
[03:28.050]Mandelbrot Set you're a Rorschach Test on fire
[03:31.760]You're a day-glo pterodactyl
[03:34.650]You're a heart-shaped box of springs and wire
[03:37.420]You're one bad-ass fucking fractal
[03:40.600]And you're just in time to save the day
[03:43.640]Sweeping all our fears away
[03:46.700]You can change the world in a tiny way
[03:52.400]And you're just in time to save the day
[03:55.720]Sweeping all our fears away
[03:58.820]You can change the world in a tiny way
[04:01.640]Go on change the world in a tiny way
[04:04.340]Come on change the world in a tiny way
[04:09.800]
